airable.api

…is the door to online media. airable.api connects hardware and companion apps to multiple sources of content. Our airable internet radio station catalogue, the airable on demand show catalogue and music subscription services are ‘hooked’ in.

What it is

airable.api acts as a layer that connects devices to the dynamically growing – and changing – world of internet media and music subscription services.
Integration usually takes a few weeks, deepening on the hardware platform and user interface definitions. This saves the time and effort of implementing an maintaining individual APIs for each music service and content catalogue. Means: implement ONE API instead of MANY.

airable.API currently gives technical access to these services and catalogues:

Deezer

Napster

TIDAL

Qobuz

SOUNDMACHINE

audioBoom

Qobuz

When we formed Qobuz in 2008, our goal was to offer the digital world the aspects of music fandom that audiophiles, those who love music best, have always cherished. For us, this meant quality sound, quality editorial, and a freedom of choice that wholly excludes bias. As a result of our diverse collective culture and our musical education, our business catered to artists old and new. We wanted to design a service that catered to highly specialized music lovers, all over the world.

Tune In airable.Radio

Integrate airable.radio into your products, app or software and your customers have access to real and relevant radio stations from all over the world. The unique combination of curators, editors and intelligent software, server infrastructure, and interface development, ensures that each station on airable.radio are always up to date, have correct metadata, logos, slogan, description, language, origin, network, genre, frequency, and much more.

airable.Show

airable.on-demand
…is our worldwide on demand show and podcast catalogue.
Consumers expect to have their favorite audio or video show available at any time, at any location. Country borders, language barriers and broadcast limitations are not accepted. Content of large broadcasters are as demanded as the offerings of small niche players. This consumer demand is addressed by the airable.on-demand catalogue

Here is why

Device makers take advantage of:
– integrating just one API instead of four or five or six or….. APIs.
– adding media catalogues and music services comes without updating devices (same for removing)
– updates on media catalogues and music services usuall don’t require updates of software or QC processes
– technical and administrative issues are taken care of by airable
